Whales, whales and a few more whales - Our Captain and guide, Tyler(the shorter Tyler) was great. He was personable and knowledgeable. Interacted very well with the children on board. Pretty sure I counted 9 Humpbacks and for the first time I saw Orcas. Three of them. The T101’s. Mom and her two handsome sons. The Sea Lions were a bonus. A day on the water, the scenery and some of natures most incredible creatures. Fabulous!

4 Hour Zodiac Whale and wildlife tour - excellent. - This was our third whale watching trip on Vancouver Island, we had done one in Victoria and one in Ucluelet, it was the smallest boat of the three (zodiac) but gave us an amazing Orca experience. We saw a pod of 5 and a big male did a close 'fly by' of our boat when we were stationary. We saw humpbacks aplenty too along with a visit to an island teeming with sealions. The crew were excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable. 4 hours went past very quickly

Orcas, Humpbacks, Otters, Seals, Sea Lions, Eagles, in their habitat. - We did the 4 hour zodiac tour with Jarek as our guide, pilot and captain. I would definitely take the tour again if Jarek is on board. His enthusiasm for guiding and his ability to treat you as a special person is really appreciated. All the guides in the area share wildlife location information. So, my guess is that all the tour companies will deliver on the watching part. What sets this company apart is the guides that really like customers and work to exceed your expectations. Besides, the wildlife, the landscapes are incredible. Snow on mountains, inlets, islands, forests, clean air and just a wonderful time on the water.

Unforgettable experience - We had an incredibly great time on the water, seeing orcas, humpback whales, seals and serlions. Our guide Laurill was great, knew a lot about the whales and was so funny and then the humpback whale that almost jumped next to our boat - the hammer !

Great time on our whale watching tour! - Everyone was welcoming and helpful at every point of contact, and Dominik was a wonderful tour guide. The zodiak was perfect for viewing, and we appreciated the survival suits. We would have been shivering without them. We felt very comfortable and secure on the entire 4 hour tour. Bonuses: it was a lovely evening. The scenery was beautiful We saw a lot of whales! Humpbacks and orcas, plus seals and sea lions. The other passengers were very congenial. We liked the souvenir shop. All in all, it's a top rate operation, highly recommended, and all the things you can't control went very well.

Best experience - A must do experience! Although we didn’t see a whale, we saw sea lions and dolphins and lots of birds. The scenery was beautiful and the boat ride alone was so much fun!
